Ladies
With the Bontor coming up on Saturday, Sheena Harrington’s winning score of a net 63, awarding her with a 1.5 handicap cut, was not good timing. One of those rare days when the chipping and one putting worked. Some seven shots back were Veronica Mitchell and Alison Chadwick with net 70s. Results…
CSS was reduced by one to 68.
Men
Conditions favoured good scoring as sunny intervals eventually merged to sunny periods. An astounding 61 from Dave Fauré was best of the day to win the August medal. Dave earned an ESR of -1 and has reduced his handicap by 4 to 16.0 this month – well done! Mikel Eguidazu Arrien also shot an amazing score – 63 for second place with Nick Rogers recording lowest gross of the day and claiming third on countback 64s from Tony Bergqvist with Toby Hunt 65 and Damian Hacket 67 also beating SSS. CSS remained at SSS 67. Results…
In the good holes stats, Kim Chaffart eagled 9th whilst Roger Rojas nudges ahead in the birdie tree with 30 so far this year.
In the associated Grand Medal Trophy after 6 rounds, Dave has a strong lead on 349, eight ahead of Pete Harrison 357. R6 Leader board…
Midweek Anniversary Cup
Most competitors found conditions favourable with rough gradually dying back/indeed cut short in places but unpredictable bounces counteracting the additional roll on firm ground. The winner on back 6 countback was Paul Grand from Cheryl Woodhouse and back 9 countback from Tamas Ladacs all 3 with 68s. Ted Holt was 4th with 72 and Seong Lim again recorded the lowest gross 83. Results…
The balance of scores raised CSS to one over SSS with Paul, Cheryl and Tamas being awarded playing handicap cuts.
This was the 3rd round (of 4) of the midweek Anniversary Cup. Kim Chaffart currently leads on 222, 31 ahead of Alison Chadwick but a serious contender will no doubt emerge from the pack who have only played two rounds. R3 Leader board…
Golden Jubilee
When the sun finally emerged, it brought with it some gusty winds but we are now getting the summer run on the ball. This could well have helped with the very impressive net 60 recorded by today’s winner. Henry Lindesay-Bethune will add his quite lengthy signature to the trophy and gets a 3.3 cut in handicap. Just two shots behind was Habib Amir with a net 62 who receives a 3.5 cut. In 3rd & 4th placez were Deborah Potter and Valerie Parker, both recording net 68s and handicap cuts. Results…
Despite these low winning scores, the CSS was unchanged from the SSS at 71 and 73 for the men and ladies respectively.
After three rounds of the Anniversary Cup, current holder Veronica Mitchell is now two shots clear of Jayne Maxwell. R3 Leader board…
Mitcham Friendly
RP won 3-0 with two 4&3 victories, with the 3rd game being a close fought affair ending 1up.
The 2nd leg was postponed from the original date and will now occur in October.
Midweek Medal
Early clubhouse leader Henry Lindesay-Bethune maintained the lead to win with 68. A spirited challenge from Jeremy Prescot 69 earned second place with lowest gross of the day Seong Lim third with 70. Jeremy and Seong earn playing handicap reductions in a round which saw CSS elevated by 2 from SSS. Results…
In the associated Midweek Grand Medal Trophy Brett Colley 280 has a three shot advantage from Mike Shabani 283 with Paul Grand third 286. R6 Leader board…
Sweep
Turnout was good at 32 despite the disruption in the Metropolis and Surrey due to the cycling event. Scoring was quite good with CSS unchanged from SSS 37 points.
Tony Kopczak emerged the overall winner with 40 points beating Jayne Maxwell 39 with a countback separating Paul Appleton from Kyojung Lee 38s. Results…
Front and back 9 best scores:
Front Nine: 22 pts Tony Kopczak Kris Lynch Kyojung Lee
Back Nine: 22 pts Tenesi Karakaneva.
Edward Cup
Early intermittent showers eventually gave way to extended sunny periods and conditions were perfect for golf. Reflecting the conditions, CSS was elevated to SSS+1 at 37 points. The overall winner with 40 points on countback last 6 was Lesley Mason from Brett Colley with Seong Lim 3rd on 38. Results…
Competitors noticed white lines along the centre of 8th and 9th fairways and shrugged their shoulders attributing them to be for perhaps a Glendale competition. Vehicles measuring pollution on recently diverted ditch/wildlife reeds/pond area could be seen on 12/13th.
Diamond Jubilee
The ladies were again to the fore, with the Lady Captain, Lia Donath, returning to form and carding a net 63 to win the Diamond Jubilee by six shots from Veronica Mitchell and Cheryl Woodhouse one further back. Results…
A shot into the rough was stlll proving by and large to be penal so the ladies with their tendency to hit the fairway prevailed. CSS remained unchanged, awarding Lia a cut of 2.8 and each of Veronica, Cheryl and the first placed man, Tamas Ladacs, all receiving a cut to reduce their playing handicaps by one shot.
After two rounds of the Anniversary Cup, first place is also taken by the ladies, with Jayne Maxwell and Veronica both on 142. R2 Leader board…
Amida Friendly
We were lucky to have beautiful hot summers day for our mixed friendly match with Amida at their course. Always a fun day and we achieved a draw so many thanks to all who played on the day. We had a great turn out with six pairs. Also well done to Tony K who brought up the rear in a singles match which he won!
